Glen Campbell…What can you say about him? He is An American Legend. A musician. An Icon. An Actor. And, a man that is dealing with the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
With the public announcement a few months ago that he is suffering from this he decided to embark on his Goodbye tour. You got to hand to it to him. He could stay home and let this debilitating disease slowly rob him and his family like so many others but instead he is taking it out on the road. Therapeutic? Of course it has to be. Plus if I had to guess, it has to be comforting to do what you know what to do in times of duress. His is to play music.
So on June 8th he rolled into Evansville Indiana at the Aiken Center.

Van Halen recently added 18 more shows to their current tour. Once again they will be all over this area and Van Halen will be coming to Ft. Wayne Indiana to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum that was built in 1952… What gives? I am going to have to give up on the Evansville Ford center. I think Ford stands for “Fluff only, Rock’s Denied”. If anyone can think of a better acronym, send it to me at chuck@kickacts.com. The Evansville concert season is really sucking…Van Halen is one of the biggest shows this year to see. They should have named the Ford center the “Desert” since it lacks entertainment.
